What is Montessori?

The Montessori Method is an educational approach that has been used in classrooms all over the world for more than 100 years. It’s a philosophy and method of education that promotes rigorous, self-directed growth in all areas of a child’s development, with the objective of cultivating each child’s inherent desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect.

Why do so many families choose Montessori?

The proven developmental and child-centered principles of the Montessori philosophy can help all children flourish in learning and in life, regardless of their background or learning style.

Our family truly found a second home at Pearlily Montessori. The teachers always go above and beyond. It’s apparent that they have a deep passion for Montessori education, and nurturing the whole child. I appreciate their frequent use of the Brightwheel app– throughout the day, I receive pictures and videos. Pearlily provides a personal, well-rounded, and involved environment for your child. I absolutely recommend Pearlily.

Pearlily Montessori has been a wonderful school for my daughter. The teachers are caring and very knowledgeable about the Montessori method. My daughter loves doing her “work” which continues to help her grow in independence and confidence. The class sizes are in line with the Montessori approach and philosophy, and the classroom community is very close-knit.

From a parent’s perspective there are a lot of good things to be said about the Pearlily Team but what matters at the end of the day is that our son likes to go to Pearlily and enjoys his time there, which I think is the biggest compliment.

Nurturing the Explorer Within

In a true Montessori classroom, children are immersed in geography through captivating, hands-on activities like puzzle map re-creations and early cartography. These works help foster not only spatial awareness and global understanding, but also valuable cognitive skills like sequencing, concentration, memory, and critical thinking. At home, parents can continue nurturing these skills in meaningful and engaging ways.

How Montessori Helps Children Grow in Virtues

At Pearlily Montessori, we believe education is more than academic mastery—it’s about building character. Through carefully guided practice, meaningful conversations, inspiring stories, and daily example, we help children develop not only knowledge and skills, but also the habits, attitudes, and virtues they need to lead full, responsible, and meaningful lives.

The Art of Keeping Wonder and Creativity Alive

In his powerful TED Talk, Sir Ken Robinson challenges us to reimagine education—to ask whether our schools are stifling the very creativity that makes us human. When it comes to Montessori schools, creativity is not a luxury—it's essential. Step into any true Montessori classroom, and what you’ll find and discover is that creativity is alive and well.

How Montessori Nurtures Social and Emotional Development

Many parents worry about their child’s social and emotional development during the early years—and for good reason. These formative years lay the foundation for how children relate to others and manage their own feelings for the rest of their lives. There’s this quiet concern: Will my child learn to get along with others? Will they learn to communicate, cooperate, and build lasting friendships?

Prepare your child for life.

Is your child a dreamer? A builder? A thinker? A storyteller? An explorer?
